Interventional Spine Medicine and Barrington Surgical Care are happy to welcome Dr. George B. Lantz, DO, MBA, to our practice.Â Dr. Lantz joins our team in August of 2011.

Dr. Lantz comes to us with extensive training and experience in pain management and anesthesiology and is Board Certified in both.Â He is a graduate of the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed a Fellowship and served as Chief Resident with Harvard Medical School at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.Â After completing his residency, Dr. Lantz served in the U.S. Army at Fort Bragg, NC, and two tours in Afghanistan as Chief of Anesthesia and Senior Medical Officer.Â He was the sole anesthesiologist in that combat zone, where he also established and ran a pain management clinic serving U.S. Soldiers, allies, and the people of Afghanistan.Â Dr. Lantz's most recent position was in a pain management practice in Annapolis, MD and Washington DC areas.

Dr. Lantz says that his international experience with both patients and physicians and the understanding of different cultures has provided him with a unique perspective and set of skills, which will serve him well as a pain management physician.Â

With regard to his patients, Dr. Lantz says, "I want them to have a better understanding of their pain".Â Dr. Lantz feels that education of both the physician and the patient is a key factor in treatment.Â Since pain is a complex issue and often requires a multi-faceted approach, the recognition of these issues and finding methods suitable to each individual is the most effective treatment.Â While it is not always possible to completely resolve all the pain, his ultimate goal is to improve function and enhance a patient's quality of life.

It is the achievement of those goals that Dr. Lantz finds most rewarding in his work: minimizing pain, improving function and educating patients.Â Among his favorite success stories are those where a simple 10 minute procedure â€" a single injection â€" has stopped years of pain and left the patient saying, "I got my life back".

Dr. Lantz is well versed in all modalities of treatment for pain conditions and will be a welcome compliment to our current providers.Â He will be seeing patients in our Barrington, Rye, and Gilford offices.Â

Dr. Lantz, his wife, and three children reside here on the seacoast.Â

We look forward to having Dr. Lantz join the practice and look forward to introducing him to our patients and to the medical community here on the seacoast.
